The rural poor are non-beneficiaries of the enormous development efforts of the past three decades. This study is aimed at assessing community participation in rural development projects in Nangere LGA, Yobe State. Data were generated from both primary and secondary sources. The study adopted a multi-stage sampling technique, of which 10 among 11 wards were purposively selected in which they are divided into 5 wards each in the first and second stage. The study made use of 383 samples which were proportionately distributed according to population size among the 10 wards selected. The study made use of descriptive statistical techniques which involved the use of mean, percentages, and frequency distribution for the summarization of the data. The findings revealed that electricity, health facilities, and road networks in Nangere ward are functional while that of wards like Watinani and Darin health center is barely functional, the study concluded that none of the geopolitical wards had a functional financial institution. Furthermore, the findings concluded that supply of manual labor and provision of security are the major forms of community participation, it’s also clear that Pakarau and Nangere wards (62% and 60%) had the highest level of community participation while Dadiso and Watinani (23%) recorded the least in all ramifications. It’s recommended therefore that beneficiaries of any rural development project should be mobilized and sensitized on the benefit of community participation in Nangere LGA and rural development projects generally and selflessness and service to humanity should be fostered by traditional authorities.
